...broken-hearted recording angel. Like some horrible ghoul, grinning and gibbering forever amid its dark mysteries, it stretches out awful hands to the wretched and the despairing throughout the vast, throbbing city, and whispers: "Come to me, come to me!" and they hear and shudder and turn cold at heart, and-come...
...club on a firm footing, and give an additional impetus to the study of elocution at Harvard. Now that a public performance has been decided upon, the entire college will feel an interest in the progress of the play, and take great pride in its success. The participants, in turn, must regard themselves as the representatives of the dramatic talent at Harvard, and recognize the full responsibility resting upon them.

It appears like a collection of visiting cards, I draw near, "Miss B-is requested-." I sadly turn away. But can it be that this is not in Cambridge? I could well believe this to be one of the rooms in the "Annex" here at Wellesley, never. I am torn from the familiar surroundings and again traverse a corridor. The Chapl! We pass on. We enter an elegant...
